Book Review – The Sticking Point Solution

There is nothing more frustrating than being stuck.

Stuck in traffic. Standing in line. Sitting on hold. Like passengers crammed into a crowded plane waiting to take off, there’s often nothing you can do about being stuck. That’s the worst part, isn’t it? Not being able to get UNstuck. Not being able to blast through the status quo.

Nine Great Ideas

Take heart. Jay Abraham tackles nine “sticking points’ in his latest – The Sticking Point Solution (Vanguard Press). 

This guy speaks my language:

When business shifts either up or down, individuals and companies typically take one of two actions: They either do more of the same thing or less of the same thing. But their activities are all tied to doing the same thing, as opposed to doing something different or better, something more profitable, impactful, productive, expedient and preemptive.

Straightforward, very little nonsense and packed with actual case histories from his work with real clients, The Sticking Point Solution is Abraham’s manifesto on getting off your back pockets and going somewhere. 

The author suggests nine areas where businesses and individuals get hung up: Not Selling Enough, Failing to Strategize, Mediocre Marketing, Crisis Economy among them. I started reading each in order and then found that I could jump around to the chapters most relevant to me without missing anything.  

Each chapter concludes with bullet point reminders and a useful Immediate Action Step to help the reader find some quick success at unsticking themselves. 

The Sticking Point Solution is the kind of book we need these days.
